Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag 4-36 Seat and restraint systems

The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following condi
tions. These include
all of the item
s listed above a
nd all related
wiring.[Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ] The ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in ON. The airbags will operate under the same con- ditions as the airbag control unit.
When the impact sensors detect a sufficient front or side impact to
deploy the airbag(s),
the appropriate airbag
(s) will be deployed.
When the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags will be deployed. When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not
intentionally inhale
the smoke as it may ca
use temporary irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems. An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so you may not even notice that the airbag wasinflated. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or being able
to steer the vehicle,
and does not prevent people from leaving the vehicle.
N00418601266
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations,such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicle’
s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to
record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems in your vehicle were operating;  Whether or not the driver and front pas- senger safety belts
were buckled/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.

CAUTION Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. In certain situ
ations, contact with an
inflating airbag may cause small cuts, abra- sions, and bruises.

After driving on snow or icy roads, removeany snow and ice whic
h may have be left
around the wheels. On vehicles that have an anti-lock braking syst

The power steering system operates while the engine is running. It
helps reduce the effort
needed to turn the steering wheel.The power steering sy
stem has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-son, you will still be able to steer your vehi- cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi- cle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.

There are two ways to cancel the ACC con- trol.  By pressing the “CANCEL” switch.  By depressing the brake pedal.
When the ACC is canceled, the “SET” indi- cator goes off and the fo
llowing distance indi-
cator turns to the ‘standby’ display. The front vehicle indicator also turns to the ‘standby’ display when a front vehicle is detected. In any of the situations listed below, the ACC control is automatically canceled, a buzzer sounds and a message is
shown in the multi-
information display.
 When your vehicle stops.  When the ASC is turned off.  While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated.  When the selector lever is in a position other than “D” or “Ds” position.  When the parking brake is engaged.  When the ACC system determines that its performance has been degraded, a buzzer will sound and a message will be dis- played in the multi information display.This can occur when • In adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow or sand storms, etc.• Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or ice, adhere to the surface of the radar sensor.• A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water,
snow or dirt.
• Driving on a nonbusy road with a fewvehicles and obstacles in front. • The brake pads are overheating.
NOTE
 The set speed indication on the display turns to “---” when the accelerator pedal isdepressed. This indication remains as long asthe pedal is in a depressed position.  In certain conditions, th
e braking control and
alarming functions of ACC may not work for a short while after releasing the accelerator pedal.
To cancel ACC control

NOTE
 You can also cancel the ACC control by pressing the “ACC ON/OFF” switch. If thisswitch is pressed while the ACC is “ON”,the ACC will be turned off.

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Activestability control” on page 5-89. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has been stopped by the FCM,
a warning buzzer
will sound and the brakes activated by theFCM will automatically be released. Apply the brakes as necessary to keep your vehicle stationary.NOTE
 When depressing the brake pedal while auto- matic braking is applied, the brake pedal willfeel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply
greater braking force.
 During the automatic
braking, operating
sounds may be heard. This is normal.
WA R N I N G The FCM will not ac
tivate and will not
provide either warnin

an, is in front.
• When the FCM has detected a problem in the system.• When a vehicle sudden
ly cuts in front of
your vehicle.• When the vehicle in front is moving at aspeed much lower than your vehicle’s speed.
 Braking function will not work in the fol- lowing situations.• Your vehicle is driv
ing at approximately
19 mph (30 km/h) or faster while thevehicle in front is stationary or moving extremely slow.•ASC is OFF. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM brakin

Every time the operation mode is turned to “ON”, the FCM will automatically be turned on. To turn off the FCM, press and hold the FCMswitch. A buzzer will sound and the “FCM OFF” message and
indicator will appear
in the multi-information display. To turn on the FCM again, press and hold the FCM switch. A buzzer w
ill sound, the “FCM

ce mode, push the FCM
ON/OFF switch. Every time the switch is pushed, the distance
mode will be switched.
The selected distance
mode is shown on the
information screen of
the multi-information

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that all the doors and the liftgate are locked. Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keep
ing good visibility,
and good control of the steering wheel,brakes, accelerator,
and controls. Check
the instrument panel
indicators and multi-
information display for any possible prob-lem.  Similarly, the front
passenger seat should
also be moved as far back as possible. Make sure that infa
nts and small children
are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower swit
ch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against thewindshield. Refer to “Defrosti
ng or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-13 Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or
sidewall cracks. Check
the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for proper pressure. Replace your tires before they are heavilyworn out. As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, only, be performed by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn
signal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.

Even this vehicle’s sa
fety equipment, and
your safest driving, ca
nnot guarantee that you
can avoid an accident or injury. However, ifyou give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, blind spots, and use your turn-signal light. While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyc
lists, and pedestrians.
